The Youngbloods brings the Darkyn mythology into YA territory with two books, After Midnight and Dead of Night, focused on younger characters within the same vampire world. The tone is lighter than the adult series while still drawing on the same supernatural framework.

For readers who came to Lynn Viehl through the main Darkyn series, The Youngbloods offers a different angle on the world. For younger readers or those new to the series, it’s a reasonable starting point that doesn’t require working through the full ten-book adult series first.
